Watford boss Walter not worried
Walter Mazzarri insists it is not panic stations at Watford just yet, despite the Hornets slipping down the Premier League table.
Despite Sam Allardyce’s Crystal Palace failing to record a single shot on target, the Eagles still got the better of Watford on Saturday with Troy Deeney’s own goal handed them the win.
That means Watford have won just two of their previous 13 games and sit 14th in the table, seven points above the relegation zone.
But manager Mazzarri is not sweating, adamant the Hornets have time on their side to lift themselves out of trouble.
“They already asked me this question and I replied, if we have to look at the league table then I’m not worried about the position we are in,” he said.
“The team was good on the pitch, we were just missing something going forward. We need to be better.
“If we look at this game specifically, and in the whole of the Premier League season – we should have had four or five more points than we do.
“The Premier League still has plenty of time to go and if we keep playing like this it shouldn’t be a problem.”
